Glass Teeth | Australasian Dance Collective

Australasian Dance Collective's 40 year anniversary

‘Glass Teeth’ is a speculative fiction that explores the mythologies and architecture of dreamscapes. Six dancers embody the figures of dream messengers, journeying through a terrain of surreality and codified absurdity.

Inspired by Greek mythology and seminal visual artists such as Salvador Dali, Hieronymus Bosch and Gertrude Abercrombie, Glass Teeth dissects re-occurring motifs that are shared in the dream realm, summoning a dance that casts spells, sends warnings and reaches towards the underworld.

With an original score by long time collaborator Clark, costume design by local fashion hero Gail Sorronda and lighting design by Ben Hughes, Glass Teeth transports through a language of gothic world building and the slippery contours of the mind.
